I highly reccomend not doing what Meatpuppy suggested. Although it may work fine for him, it can really raise your Blood Pressure. I say this not to knock MP, but I have done it that way in the past and ended up with massive migrane headaches, trust me, no fun. It caused me to have to leave the gym a couple times. IMO, it is best to take a deep breath between every rep, at the very least, do this when going heavy.
